CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve on 15 February 2000. He was ordered to active duty in Support of Operation Enduring Freedom on
29 November 2004.

3. The applicant submitted a memorandum from the 5501st USAH, dated

4. The applicant submitted a Medical Fieldcraft Certificate of Training, dated
21 May 2004, that shows he completed the 2-week Medical Fieldcraft Training Course on 21 May 2004.
5. The applicant submitted Headquarters, 5501st USAH Permanent Order Number 254-1, dated 12 September 2004, that shows he was awarded the Army Achievement Medal 2nd award.

Item 14 (Military Education) shows the entry "NONE//NOTHING FOLLOWS."
10. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents prepared for Soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. It establishes standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214. It states for item 13 (Decorations, Medals, Badges, Citations and Campaign Ribbons Awarded or Authorized (All Periods of Service)) list awards and decorations for all periods of service in the priority sequence specified in AR 600-8-22. Each entry will be verified by the SoldierÂ’s records. Do not use abbreviations.
11. Army Regulation 635-5 also states for item 14 (Military Education), list in-service training course; title, number of weeks, year successfully completed during this period of service covered by the DD Form 214. This information is to assist the member after separation in job placement and counseling; therefore, training courses for combat skills will not be listed.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. Evidence of record shows that the applicant was awarded two Army Achievement Medals, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal. His 27 May 2006 DD Form 214 should be amended to add these awards.
2. Evidence of record shows that the applicant completed the 2-week Medical Fieldcraft Training Course in 2004 and the 4-week Primary Leadership Development Course in 2005. Therefore, his DD Form 214 should be corrected to add the Medical Fieldcraft Training Course, 2 weeks (2004) and the Primary Leadership Development Course, 4 weeks (2005) in item 14.
